Sorry for another "who dat" post...

What beautiful steel work! The steel sits so nicely in the track. The player hits a few accent notes at the most appropriate times, but mostly it’s chords with glissando’s. Wonderful! And – something within reach for beginner/ intermediate players (no speed picking – all soul).

I’m sure I'm “late to the dance” on this comment. But to whoever did it – thank you!

p.s. – the track I listened to was from the album called “Clapton Chronicles – The Best of Eric Clapton”.

Jay Dee tabbed it out for his "Get Inside" video. One of the best solos on record, IMHO.

There is also an all-instrumental version of Tears In Heaven at the very end of JD's Get Inside video, featuring JD on steel as the lead instrument. One more reason to own the video.

Jay Dee played a wonderful instrumental version of the tune at Scotty's show-He is one of the greatest!

Amen! This is one of the solos that also turns the heads of people who don't even know what a Steel Guitar is!

Kind Regards, Walter
